The aim of this work is to propose bio-inspired neural networks for decision-making mechanisms and modulation of motor control of an automaton. In this work, we have adapted and applied cortical synaptic circuits, such as short-term memory circuits, winner-take-all (WTA) class competitive neural networks, modulation neural networks, and nonlinear oscillation circuits, in order to make the automaton able to avoid obstacles and explore simulated and real environments. The performance achieved by using biologically inspired neural networks to solve the task at hand is similar to that of several works mentioned in the specialized literature. Furthermore, this work contributed to bridging the fields of computational neuroscience and robotics.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, emerged as a global health crisis in 2019, resulting in widespread morbidity and mortality. A persistent challenge during the pandemic has been the accuracy of reported epidemic data, particularly in underdeveloped regions with limited access to COVID-19 test kits and healthcare infrastructure. In the post-COVID era, this issue remains crucial.

The rapid advancements in additive manufacturing (AM) across different scales and material classes have enabled the creation of architected materials with highly tailored properties. Beyond geometric flexibility, multi-material AM further expands design possibilities by combining materials with distinct characteristics. While machine learning has recently shown great potential for the fast inverse design of lattice structures, its application has largely been limited to single-material systems.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of Life Science and Technology, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun, 130022, China.

The cervical cell classification technique can determine the degree of cellular abnormality and pathological condition, which can help doctors to detect the risk of cervical cancer at an early stage and improve the cure and survival rates of cervical cancer patients. Addressing the issue of low accuracy in cervical cell classification, a deep convolutional neural network A2SDNet121 is proposed. A2SDNet121 takes DenseNet121 as the backbone network.
